Collegiate Record: Doris Lemngole Sets All-Time Steeplechase Best

Roll Tide?

Roll Doris!

Doris Lemngole took down a two-year-old collegiate record – and meet record – in the steeplechase on Saturday at the 2024 NCAA DI Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Lemngole, who entered the meet with the nation’s fastest time, pulled away from defending champion Olivia Markezich of Notre Dame over the final 400 meters to win by more than two seconds in 9:15.24.

The Alabama star took more than six seconds off her previous PR of 9:22.31, which made her the second fastest performer in collegiate history at the time. Now, Lemngole stands alone at the top.
